Bandipelli Rajamma, a 70-year-old woman, hailing from Lakshminarayanapuram village in Warangal district of Telangana lost her home during last year's floods. However, this new year has brought her a fresh lease of life as a Palakurthi Sub Inspector comes forward to build her a new home after learning about her plight.

The sub-inspector named, Gundrathi Satish met Rajamma in October when he was engaged in rescue and rehabilitation operations for flood victims Telangana. Many residents of the state lost their homes due to the floods and their normal lives were affected.

Apart from building a new house, Rajamma was also provided with essential supplies that would last for least six months along with monetary help.

The wife of Panchayat Raj Minister Errabelli Dayakar Rao, Usha too came forward in providing necessary help to Rajamma. She provided rice, grocery supplies along with some money to Rajamma.
